getting to know my area, and trying to get warm
well, i am trying to get warm, and i am getting there. i have covered up all of my missing windows, and a friend is comign to help replace those in the next few days. I have gotten a fridge, and a crock pot. I have never had a crock pot but since i dont have a stove so i had to do something. I am not a big fan of it but i am glad i can make soup. It also puts off a lot of heat, so thats nice.
I met all of my neighbors, and they seem pretty nice. Deloris met the magnolia street dog, and they have to play every time i take deloris out. The street dog's name is Halley Barry. She is a Katrina dog. She survived the storme and looks a little like a porcupine.
This weekend i went to the festival downtown biloxi. Everyone kept stopping me to see my Deloris. THey love her.
Today, i spent most of the day working in the St. Louis Building (which is our new office building) I got to hammer in a bunch of nails including my thumb nail. that kind of sucked.
I also got to help raise of walls. It was pretty neat, because i really havnt ever done that.
Oh yeah, i got a fridge.
I gave my neighbor a beer to help me move it up stairs. I gave him a beer todaytoo. i think this must be a trend.
I am sitting on my new bed. Oh yeah, i got a bed. It was kind of a sketchy place. It was this warehouse, with all of these beds with funky fabric. It was weird but i got a good price. so. i aint askin any questions.
I am sorry this post is jumping around. I am listening to This American Life, which is one of the best of radio shows in the world. Ok so i am going to stop writing now. I will fill you in on the rest later. I am going to continue listening ot the radio. it is good.
good night, and good luck.

It got cold
Last night i went to bed with a fan on and the screen door open, and it was warm. I woke up this morning to a freezing cold house, i mean cold, it was 30degrees this morning. it was difficult to get out of my sleeping bag.
So, i am getting my bed today hopefully. That is pretty exciting. No more sleeping on the floor. No more deloris eating my hair in the middle of the night!!!!!!
So as far as work is going, the website is coming along well. I am hoping to send it to the university review board this week and have it up and running by the first of the year.
Students from SCAD are here helping the Gulf Coast Community Design Center get some things done. THey have 14 students and 4 faculty and they have been wonderful. THey have completed resurveying all of the houses in east biloxi, so i can update the map with all of that info. They have measured four houses that we will be working on, they are mold treating the rectory (the future home of some of the East Biloxi Coordination Center's offices) , surveying all of the historic properties in east biloxi, and analyizing this area on division that we are going to be working on.
I am currently working on this demonstration housing project, which will be a small group of structures that show different types of building styles. I am also working on the website, and getting the maps updated. Once the students from SCAD get the measuring done on the houses i will probably take one or two of those.
Well, That is about it for today. I am glad that tomorrow is saturday, i will have a chance to really get some more work done on the house. I am going to tackle the bathroom, and paint all of the trim in the house, and patch the walls in my kitchen. I am also going to get a chest of drawers, and maybe a small fridge. i dunno, but this weekend will be productive aslong as i can keep deloris from eating all of the paint.
have a good day.

Waiting on Arc GIS
well, i have had a busy week. I got a dog,deloris, as you can see in the post below, she is amazing. She is so good, she can sit well, and walks on a leash pretty well (i know there are a lot of things to smell)
I had to take her to the vet yesterday. She has kennell cough. I think she gave it to me. Ha ha
I plan on taking her to the beach and then going home and painting my house. Ehhh... it needs to be finished this week. I am tired of having a house like this.
then i can get a bed, and yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 i will have a place to live. Well, i am living there now, but it is pretty dirty, and i have been working on it, but you know, it just takes a while.
Alright, thats about it, i am waiting on ARC GIS to think. It is so slow. ehhh.
alright, well have a good day
